About Renoir 關(guān)于雷諾阿
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, France, the child of a working class family. As a boy, he worked in a porcelain factory where his drawing talents led to him being chosen to paint designs on fine china. He also painted hangings for overseas missionaries and decorations on fans before he enrolled in art school. During those early years, he often visited the Louvre to study the French master painters.
Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. The female nude was one of his primary subjects. In characteristic Impressionist style, Renoir suggested the details of a scene through freely brushed touches of color, so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their surroundings.
One of the best known Impressionist works is Renoir's 1876 Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (Bal du moulin de la Galette). The painting depicts an open-air scene, crowded with people, at a popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre, close to where he lived.
A prolific artist, he made several thousand paintings. The warm sensuality of Renoir's style made his paintings some of the most wellknown and frequently-reproduced works in the history of art. The single largest collection of his works-181 paintings in all-is at the Barnes Foundation, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
雷諾阿出身平民,他的性格氣質(zhì)都是接近平民的。他從無高傲的表現(xiàn),在貝爾拉的酒家里,侍役們像對待同等地位的人那樣跟他說話。他對模特兒的選擇從不過于挑剔:"只要有不反光的皮膚就行",還有就是不要"像上流社會的女士那樣涂脂抹粉的"。雷諾阿有著健康的、基本的趣味。他在社交場合總是保持著一種沉默寡言、多愁善感的樣子,一副陰郁的面孔??墒钱?dāng)雷諾阿畫起畫來,他的臉便立刻容光煥發(fā),作畫時他竟會哼出悅耳的歌聲。
雷諾阿以畫人物出名,這之中又以畫甜美、悠閑的氣氛還有豐滿、明亮的臉和手最為經(jīng)典。印象派中雷諾阿的特色在于描繪迷人的感覺,從他的畫作中你很少感覺到苦痛或是宗教情懷,但常常能感受到家庭的溫暖,如母親或是長姐般的笑容。雷諾阿認為繪畫并非科學(xué)性的分析光線,也并非巧心的安排布局,繪畫是要帶給觀者愉悅,讓繪畫掛置的環(huán)境充滿了畫家想要的感覺。
